The passing of yet another great musician from my much mis-spent youth, John Wetton hit the news today. A former member of King Crimson, Family, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep and founder of the supergroup Asia (featured in the video below), John was a major contributor to once great British music scene before all these talentless wannabes started appearing on X-Factor and the like.

A sad loss for his family friends and fans alike.

RIP John. You will be missed. Thanks for all the great music.

  1. It's Wetton, Howie. No h. A huge loss. The incarnation of King Crimson he sang and played bass in was incredibly influential and quite brilliant. Check out Starless from the album Red.
